I added 5 ounces of cocoa nibs to my order. With the 1 oz of Baker's chocolate per gallon, how did the brew turn out overall? Is there a commercial chocolate milk stout you could compare it to? Thanks.

The beer turned out really well - took second place in the stout category at a local home brew competition. The feedback that I got from everyone was that it was perfectly chocolatey without being cloying.

As for a similar commercial beer, it was more milky than either Rogue's or Youngs' Chocolate Stouts thanks to lactose being 15% of the grain bill.
